Days After Revelation On Destroyed Pakistani Fighter Jets, IAF Releases Footage Of Precision Strikes During Operation Sindoor

The Indian Air Force (IAF) on Sunday (10 August) released a six-minute video showcasing its precision strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) during Operation Sindoor, reported News18.

“IAF responded with precision, speed, resolve,” the clip stated, featuring aerial footage of Indian fighter jets targeting and destroying terror sites.

The operation avenged the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians. The video also displayed images of “decimated” terror camps and included historical footage from the 1971 war, the Kargil conflict, and the 2019 Balakot strikes after Pulwama.

It opened with the message: “When the skies grow dark and danger looms across land or sea, there’s one force that rises. Vast, fearless and precise. The Indian Air Force.”

Operation Sindoor began on 7 May, when Indian armed forces hit multiple terror bases in Pakistan and PoK, eliminating over 100 terrorists. Pakistan retaliated with a large-scale missile and drone offensive, which India intercepted before striking back at Pakistani airfields.

Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh revealed last Saturday (9 August) that the IAF destroyed five Pakistani fighter jets and a large aircraft during the operation.

“We have an indication of at least one AWC in that AWC hangar, and a few F-16s, which are under maintenance there. We have at least five fighters confirmed killed and one large aircraft, which could be either an aircraft or an AWC… This is actually the largest ever recorded surface-to-air kill that we can talk about,” he said in Bengaluru.

The IAF also shared before-and-after satellite images, highlighting Operation Sindoor’s devastating impact on Pakistan’s military infrastructure.
